Career prospects
Completing the master’s degree in Linguistics is a prerequisite for commencing subsequent doctoral training as part of the IGRA (Interaction of Grammatical Building Blocks) group at the Research Academy Leipzig. It is thus possible to work in the field of research and teaching in linguistics or in one of the numerous neighbouring disciplines of linguistics.Due to the highly general nature and the diversity of the knowledge and methods acquired, the programme also offers good starting conditions for a differentiated career in various social areas, e.g. for interpersonal and institutionalised communication (publishing houses, media, other public relations work) or for technically supported information, documentation and terminology work.Get more details
